具体描述
Michael Beard is a Nobel prize-winning physicist whose best work is behind him. Trading on his reputation, he speaks for enormous fees, lends his name to the letterheads of renowned scientific institutions and half-heartedly heads a government-backed initiative tackling global warming. A compulsive womaniser, Beard finds his fifth marriage floundering. But this time it is different: she is having the affair, and he is still in love with her. When Beard's professional and personal worlds collide in a freak accident, an opportunity presents itself for Beard to extricate himself from his marital mess, reinvigorate his career and save the world from environmental disaster. Ranging from the Arctic Circle to the deserts of New Mexico, "Solar" is a serious and darkly satirical novel, showing human frailty struggling with the most pressing and complex problem of our time. A story of one man's greed and self-deception, it is a profound and stylish new work from one of the world's great writers.

评分因为喜欢McEwan，所以出Solar没多久就买了，哦，新作Sweet Tooth也是，而且还是实体书和Kindle版一起买。回国的时候发现Solar已经翻译出版了，译者和On Chesil Beach的是同一人，上海译文出版社的黄昱宁。 McEwan写学术界也像那么个回事：声名显赫的教授到一定年纪变成学术花...
评分《追日》在豆瓣购书单里挂了很久。每隔几天就上去查查到货了没。当快递小伙儿终于出现在门口，将一个脏兮兮的灰色塑料袋递给我。我突然有了大学时淘到打口带的感觉。恐怖伊恩，久违了。 读完这本书，我立刻去重新翻了另外两本书，两本可以说是伊恩的老乡写的书。一本是毛姆的...
